I thought that it was one of the best episodes in a long, long time, probably a good 2 or 3 years. The BBC piece was very well done; the sight of the car driving behind the news readers desk made me choke on my drink. They managed last night, to keep enthusiasts happy while keeping it mainstream, they seemed to have lost the knack of getting that balance right.

The RR piece was almost as good as JC's Phantom piece, the star in a reasonably priced car only made a passing reference to his book, the 599 looked subliminal and Ken Livingstone got a half decent mauling, which is always good. As much as I like the Fifth Gear crew, they'll be wondering what on earth they have to do, to catch up. Apart from getting 5 times the production budget. The general camera work has to change though, those moody filtered skies and cropped long shots have been done to death. The Typhoon photography was fantastic though.
